Next Steps

This is just a basic Grape API example. You can see the post API specified in app/api/posts.rb. You could expand that API and add your own models in app/models. Grape's readme has some basic usage examples that will help get you started.

Deploy on Heroku

First we create a new Heroku application

heroku create --stack cedar YOURAPPNAME

Next we push the code to Heroku

git push heroku master

Finally we need to migrate the database on Heroku

heroku run rake db:migrate RACK_ENV=production

Now you should be able to request posts from your app and get an empty array back as there are no posts saved yet.

curl http://YOURAPPNAME.herokuapp.com/v1/posts.json
=> []

Next you could use the "Adding a Post" example above to write your first post to the server.
